This *trick* is in fact documented on page 13 of the "Getting Started" Teacher's
Guide for ROBOLAB Software where it says "A setting of 0 means the RCX always
stays on".
The sematics is likely to cause confusion because earlier on it says "Sets the
amount of time (mins) the RCX will sit idle before turning off". A setting of
"0" could thus be interpreted as the RCX will switch off immediately after it
was turned on. So enter a large number like 32768 but oops, the range is 0-255
minutes.
Oh well...
